Operating Instructions Chapter 2

LD-MRS

For your safety

8012948/102H/2018-10-24

2.3 Intended use

The LD-MRS allows two applications with its radial field of view:

• The detection of objects around the location or installation site while continuously out-

putting measurements upon request, or

• Field monitoring of freely definable areas while signaling field violations via external

switch outputs

The device is designed for application in the industrial sector, in particular outside.

Important Every other use as well as modifications to the device, including those within the course of

mounting and electrical installation, will render void any warranty claim towards SICK AG.

 Only operate the LD-MRS in the permitted ambient temperature range, see Chapter 9

Technical specifications, Page 94.

The user of the LD-MRS has to ensure that

• the device is only used in compliance with the listed specifications and environment

conditions, see Chapter 9.1 Data sheets, Page 94,

• country-specific standards and regulations are adhered to, depending on the kind of

operation,

• the device is only used in proper, functional state,

• safety and warning labels attached to the device are not removed or covered and re-

main readable,

• the operating instructions are available on site in a readable form and that the autho-

rized personnel had read the operating instructions and is thus sufficiently qualified.

Important Loss of warranty!

The housing of the laser measurement sensor LD-MRS is closed with a seal. Breaking the

seal and opening the device causes a loss of warranty claims towards SICK AG. The housing

may only be opened by authorized service personnel of SICK AG.

2.4 General safety notes and protective means

 Read the general safety notes carefully and strictly observe them in when working at or

with the LD-MRS. Also observe the warning notes printed before the instructions in the

individual chapters of this document.

WARNING

Safety notes

Observe the following points in order to ensure safe use as intended of the LD-MRS:

• The user must ensure that every person working on or with the LD-MRS has read and

understood these operating instructions.

• Official and legal requirements must be adhered to when operating the LD-MRS.

• For installation and usage of the LD-MRS as well as for commissioning and regular tech-

nical inspection, national/international legal requirements apply, in particular

– the accident prevention regulations/safety rules

– other pertinent safety rules

• Adhere to the following safety notes in order to prevent dangers for persons and/or

property:

– T

he operator must ensure by suitable instructions and inspections that the window

of the LD-MRS is always clean.

– Additionally, the local safety and accident prevention regulations apply for operating

the LD-MRS.

– A defect of the control functions can cause danger for human life or property dam-

age at the LD-MRS.

• Data integrity

In its products, SICK AG uses information technology, such as IO-Link or standard IP

technology. The focus is on the availability of the products and their features. It is the

consistent assumption of SICK AG that the user will maintain the integrity and confiden-

tiality of data and rights that are affected by the use of the products.

The user must observe appropriate safety measures such as network separation, fire-

walls, viral protection and patch management according to the situation.

2.4.1 Range of application

WARNING

Not permitted for personal protection!

The LD-MRS is NOT a device for ensuring personal protection as defined by applicable safe-

ty standards for machines!

Operating Instructions Chapter 2

LD-MRS

For your safety

8012948/102H/2018-10-24

2.4.2 Electrical installation tasks

• Only trained personnel may perform the electrical installation.

• Electrical connection may only be established or disconnected when not under voltage.

• Specify and implement the wire diameter and the correct fusing according to valid stan-

dards.

2.4.3 Malfunctions

CAN modules for external switching inputs and outputs (accessories)

NOTICE

Potential radio interference when using the optional CAN modules in residential areas.

 Only use the laser measurement sensor LD-MRS together with the CAN modules in an

industrial setting.

2.4.4 Laser protection

CAUTION

Laser radiation!

The LD-MRS uses infrared light laser. The device is specified as laser class 1 (eye-safe).

The laser beam is invisible to the human eye!

Caution — use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

 Do not open the housing of the LD-MRS (opening the housing does not interrupt laser

operation).

 Observe the valid laser protection regulations in their newest version.

Laser power

The laser operates at a wave length λ = approx. 905 nm (invisible infrared light).

The product is classified as laser class 1 EN/IEC 60825-1:2014, 21 CFR 1040.10 and 21

CFR 1040.11.

Identical laser class for issue EN/IEC 60825-1:2007. The radiation emitted

in normal operation is not harm-ful to the eyes and human skin.

Important In order to ensure laser class 1, no maintenance is necessary.

Laser output aperture

The laser output aperture is the window of the LD-MRS.

Product description

3.3 System requirements

For general system requirements refer to the data sheet for the LD-MRS (see Chapter 9

Technical specifications, Page 94).

The requirements for Mounting, Electrical installation and Commissioning and configura-

tion are summarized in the respective chapters.

3.3.1 Product features and functions (overview)

Performance feature Characteristic

General advantages • reliable detection of objects in the field of view of the LD-MRS

• high scanning range and compact housing

• simultaneous measurement on 8 planes

• LD-MRS HD: expanded penetration through dust by special receiver unit and extended

dust filter software

Safety and comfort for the user • Rugged, compact aluminum housing also available as lightweight housing

• laser class 1, laser switches off in case of faults

• enclosure rating IP 69K in mounted condition

• upgradable by firmware update via data interface Ethernet

•low power consumption

• wide range of supply voltage

Simple operation / parametrization • Configuration of measuring mode using the SICK LaserView Customer Edition visual-

ization tool with Windows and Linux

• And configuration of field monitoring using the SOPAS-ET the configuration software

with Windows

• alternatively using commands in messages

Operating states • wait mode: Configuration of the LD-MRS

• Operating mode measurement: Scanning the field of view

• Operating mode "Object tracking". Scanning the field of view and tracking of up to 64

objects in field of view.

• Field monitoring mode: scanning the field of view and monitoring specific fields for

changes (field intrusion)

Output of results • Measurements: via the Ethernet data interface

• Object tracking: pre-processed object data allows for object tracking of up to 64 ob-

jects simultaneously, as well as the output of their dynamic properties (e.g.. speed, di-

rection, size, etc.)

• Field violations: via a maximum of 10 externals switch outputs with the help of two op-

tional CAN modules (accessory) with eight configurable I/O ports each, optional arm-

ing of specific, freely-definable evaluation instances through 2 external switching

inputs

Electric interfaces • power supply (9 to 27 V DC)

• Ethernet data interface

• Data interface CAN

• synchronization interface

• auxiliary data interface: RS-232

Connection technology (type) • connection "Ethernet": 4-pin socket (round plug-in connection)

• connection "Data interfaces/synchronization": 12-pin socket (round plug-in connec-

tion)

• connection "Power": 4-pin plug (round plug-in connection)
